BondiBoost, the best selling Australian hair care brand is announcing the expansion of the brand’s product collection with their new HG Dry Shampoo ($24.99)!

The weightless spray instantly extends the life of your wash, leaving behind no white residue while reviving the scalp for longer, stronger, healthier-looking hair over time. As part of the best-selling, holy grail, HG system, this talc-free formula multitasks so hair looks and feels its best in the moment and down the line.

Infused with Rosemary Oil to invigorate and soothe the scalp while helping to prevent breakage. Rice Starch absorbs excess oils and restores volume, making second-day (or third- or fourth-day) hair look like day one. Plant-Derived Fatty Acids condition and strengthen hair for a healthy look with notes of Rosemary, Sandalwood and Bergamot.

The HG Dry Shampoo will also be available on Sephora.com, Ulta.com and in both stores at the end of September.

As the leaves begin to change and nature’s palette transforms, Arvino is thrilled to unveil its highly anticipated Fall Collection, inspired by the rich hues of red, the lush shades of green, and the luxurious allure of gold. The collection encapsulates the spirit of the season, celebrating the essence of autumn’s beauty and translating it into exquisite wearable art.

Guided by a passion for creativity and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, Arvino curates forty new jewels, harmoniously blending three distinct colors into a versatile and captivating collection. Each design reflects the brand’s dedication to quality, innovation, and the celebration of individual style.

“Arvino is worn by women who love unique, affordable luxury jewelry. Arvino offers complete jewelry sets that make a woman feel and look beautiful,” says Brand Director, Julia Lopez. “We celebrate the wide spectrum of femininity with our designs, representing the inherent strength, sensuality & sophistication of the everyday woman.”

Reminiscent of the hearth, the mesmerizing reds of the Fall Collection’s coral beaded range are nostalgic and comforting. Exuding sophistication and warmth, coral statement pieces give the wearer a fiery confident glow. The coral stone charm chain necklace and earrings bring the allure of the sea to one’s silhouette. For an edgier look, the coral beaded necklace,  bracelet and earrings give a provocative, asymmetrical look that is perfect with a T-shirt and jeans, or for warming up at a cocktail party.

The modern vintage range offers a playful twist on iconic looks. Its multicolor gemstone necklace, bracelet, earrings, hoops, ear cuff and ring are reminiscent of colorful, candy-colored jewels of the past. These pieces mix and geometric and rounded cuts, with surprise asymmetrical settings. Pearls and multicolor cubic zirconia are set into 22K gold plated jewels for an affordable, chic look. The modern vintage range also features evil eye jewels—a necklace, huggies, studs and a ring— the perfect talismans for warding off negative energy.

For power dressing, Arvino’s bold gold pieces are a fall collection standout. The 18K gold vermeil Zolotas ring and earrings are timeless, accessorizing with the season’s tailored looks: crisp white shirts, long black coats, and liquid metal styles. Striated hoops and sweet heart jewels add glamour to executive suite looks, for working women on the go.

The Arvino Fall collection is a celebration of life’s rich tapestry, reflecting one’s changing seasons.  Whether for a casual outing, formal event, or heartfelt gift, each jewel resonates with an individual statement. “Every piece in the Fall Collection tells a story, combining the fiery energy of red, the tranquility of green, and the timeless allure of gold,” says Arvind, Founder and Designer of Arvino. “Capturing the essence of autumn and translating it into wearable art allows our customers to express their unique style, embracing the beauty of change.”

The Fall Collection is available for purchase at arvino.co. For retail partnerships, contact Arvino Brand Manager, Julia Lopez, by phone at 305-713-4500 or via email at Julia@arvino.com. For questions regarding this press release, contact Pietra Communications by phone at 212-913-9761 or via email at info@pietrapr.com.

LAWLESS Beauty, known for their cult-favorite “Forget the Filler” lip-plumping products, has launched their biggest innovation yet, Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Perfecting Cream, powered by MAXI-YOUTH™. LAWLESS formulated this game-changing skin savior as a deep treatment and priming moisturizer, clinically proven to plump, smooth, and perfect the look of skin, much like their famed Forget the Filler lip products do immediately and over time.

LAWLESS’ Forget The Filler franchise gained industry praise with its first launch, Lip-Plumping Line-Smoothing Gloss, in January 2021. The brand quickly became synonymous with plumping and smoothing and began to steer the franchise in a skincare-first direction with the launch of Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask in January 2022. Lip Mask’s active-packed formula went beyond competitor products on the market and quickly developed a cult-like following. Impressed with the smoothing and plumping benefits of Lip Mask, customers began asking for a product that would plump fine lines, add a bouncier texture to the skin, and create a flawless base for makeup. Listening to their consumers, LAWLESS began extensive research to create a skincare and makeup prep product that translated the signature Forget The Filler lip plumping and smoothing benefits to the face. Working with raw material suppliers, skincare chemists, clinical labs and dermatologists, LAWLESS Beauty undertook the rigorous development process that made this challenge a reality.

Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Perfecting Cream is unlike anything else on the market because of its use of Maxi-Youth™, a clinically proven biomimetic hyaluronic acid complex that contains Glycokines™ obtained by fermentation. Supported by peptides and hero anti-aging ingredients, this cloud-like formula helps restore moisture, suppleness, and smoothness to the skin. Forget The Filler Perfecting Cream’s plumping and smoothing benefits also create the perfect priming base for makeup, subtly blurring texture and extending the wear of complexion products. After 4 weeks of use, 91% of subjects showed improvement in skin firmness and elasticity while also agreeing that it was gentle on the skin and the perfect makeup prep. After 8 weeks of continued twice daily use, 94% of subjects experienced improvement in skin firmness and elasticity, while 100% experienced increased skin hydration overall.

“As the Founder of LAWLESS Beauty, but also a busy mom and someone who suffers from multiple auto-immune diseases, it is of the utmost importance that our products go beyond standard parameters for ‘clean beauty’ and outperform conventional beauty favorites. We work relentlessly to move the benchmark of what’s possible, to create a legacy brand that just so happens to be clean,” says Annie Lawless. “Because of our stringent guidelines, we have to navigate around traditional ingredients that are typically utilized in order to maintain superior efficacy. It took us a dizzying number of modifications to ensure the texture was perfect, include the highest concentration of skincare actives, and ensure the formula would enhance the performance of makeup.”

While LAWLESS Beauty was founded as a makeup brand, the formulations have evolved since its inception to blur the line between high-performance makeup for “makeup lovers” and clinically proven clean skincare that delivers visible immediate and long-term results.

In conjunction with expanding categories, LAWLESS Beauty is advancing its philanthropic efforts from annual giving-back occasions to an always-on approach. Beginning on August 11^th, LAWLESS Beauty will jumpstart its partnership with charitable organization Beam. Through Beam, users who buy any product on the LAWLESS Beauty website will be able to select from four organizations to send 1% of their purchase amount, at no extra-cost to the customer. The first four charities have been selected by Annie Lawless, based upon causes and organizations she has been close to for several years. Those organizations are Boys and Girls Club, Feeding America, The Challenged Athletes Foundation, and Voices for Children. Customers can see how their charitable selection impacts each organization in real time and will even receive notifications when long-term goals are reached.

LAWLESS Beauty’s Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line Smoothing Perfecting Cream retails for $52 and is available August 11th on LAWLESSBeauty.com, Sephora stores and sephora.com. For more information on the product and LAWLESS Beauty, and to see the astonishing clinical before and after pictures, please visit lawlessbeauty.com.

About LAWLESS Beauty^®

Founder Annie Lawless started LAWLESS Beauty out of a genuine need for cleaner, better formulations that actually work! As a mother, entrepreneur, bona-fide glam girl and someone who has lived with multiple auto-immune issues for her entire life, Annie simply could not find products with the performance she needed, that were also clean. This inspired the brand mission to create skincare-powered, high-performance, long-wearing makeup with a no tolerance policy for wimpy formulas or potentially harmful ingredients. LAWLESS Beauty is truly CLEAN LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN. We hope you are obsessed!

“Pumpkin is a classic source of natural skin brightening, polishing, and renewing enzymes, as well as beta keratin, a pre-curser plant source of Vitamin A and other anti-aging phytonutrients. It has a delightful seasonal organic fragrance that will put people in the mood for the holidays,” explains Elina Fedotova, celebrity esthetician and founder of Elina Organics Skincare & Spas, which is celebrating its 25^th anniversary in 2023. “Unlike other fruits and vegetables, the pumpkin can stay in your home as decoration for many weeks without looking aged or rotten. This proves that pumpkin holds robust youth-preserving properties of antioxidants.”

Blended with brown sugar, a natural glycolic acid source that deeply penetrates the skin and promotes new cell growth, this new Elina Organics’ scrub exfoliates the skin and is gentle enough for sensitive complexions. “The formula is combined with warming cinnamon, clove, and ginger, which all intensify micro-circulation, contain anti-bacterial properties, and have skin-warming and protective benefits,” Elina adds.

“The formula does not contain water, allowing us to preserve it naturally.

To purchase: Pumpkin Spice Scrub – Elina Organics

Elina’s botanical formulas are handmade and small-batch produced in its own Michigan lab and its products have been proven through independent scientific testing to activate the expression of essential anti-aging and antioxidant genes that stimulate the production of collagen and keratin. These genes regulate biological processes necessary for skin cell regeneration, renewal, and protection.

As people are rapidly realizing, what you apply to your skin is a form of “food,” because much of it can be consumed into the body. Synthetic ingredients don’t belong in the body, where they can cause a wide range of health issues. Likewise, they don’t belong in the environment, where they can harm animals, plants, the water supply, and more.

People also don’t deserve “greenwashing,” the common practice of luring customers by proclaiming “clean-sounding” phrases like “paraben-free,” “wild-crafted,” or even “organic” in their marketing. Yes, it may be paraben-free or contain one or a few organic ingredients, but read the ingredient label closely and it often contains some or many synthetic and potentially toxic ingredients, too!

About The Founder: Brian Vaszily is a highly regarded veteran in the natural health industry. He has over 20 years of experience as a natural health researcher, advocate, and entrepreneur. Both Brian and his wife, Iwona – a licensed cosmetologist – began to notice crow’s feet around their eyes. Understanding the most effective botanicals that could help – and knowing the importance of avoiding feeding our bodies toxic ingredients – they went on the hunt for a skin product that contained those right ingredients and was also independently verified clean and organic – i.e. USDA Certified Organic.
